Spanish Oaks Golf Club

Spanish Oaks is part of a huge master-planned community located in the scenic Hill Country along Texas 71 outside of Austin in Bee Caves. Membership in this private club will be limited to 350. Little Barton Creek rolls through the layout, which is cut by an impressive array of cliffs and rocky terrain. There is an unmistakable natural feel to the layout, and you’ll definitely experience something special if you have the privilege of playing this course.

Since its opening in October 2001, accolades have come easy for this Booby Weed-designed track. In fact, Golf Digest labeled the facility as the “Best New Private Course in America” so it’s not surprising that others now consider it one of the top ten in all of Texas.

Note that first-timers will greatly benefit from the club’s outstanding caddie program, and the design is very walker-friendly, with short distances between each hole.
